One bright spot (pun noticed, if not intended) in the current summer TV doldrums is
Erin Moriarty starring as Starlight in the recent Amazon Prime offering
"The Boys", a dark comedy web television series based on the comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered individuals are recognized as heroes by the general public and owned by powerful corporation Vought International, who ensures that they are properly marketed and monetized. Outside of their heroic personas, however, many have grown arrogant and corrupt. The series primarily focuses on two groups: the titular Boys, vigilantes looking to keep the corrupted heroes under control, and the Seven, Vought International's premier superhero team.
So far (3 episodes in) funny, but bloody.
